nice
I like it, I have been thinking of doing something very similar myself
if I could add a suggestion I would say use flush rivets and that leaves it open to cover with the vinyl coverings that are being used now for camo or like carbon fiber or leather etc.
Just saw an rx-7 with the stuff applied at a local shop and it looked like a stock carbon fiber job
nothing wrong with what you got there just thinking options

Not yet. I haven't ever seen one with middle heater so you might post a picture so I can see.

Yes Paypal would be fine.
If I get 3 or more people interested I'll confirm my intent to build some and collect $$$$$. I was wanting to make sure I don't have a huge piece of aluminum in the garage with nothing to do with it.
Yes I want one too sent you a pm
I would like a console that would fit over my stock 1981 rear heater and has a cushion pad on top.....or is that asking too much?

I'm not sure what you envision for over your rear heater so I'd hate to commit to something that might not meet your expectations.
If you can put together a sketch with measurements then I could give you a better idea.
As for the cushion, I'd prefer to let you add those as you see fit since everyone probably has a different color preference, etc....

The problem with the 81 and 82 is if you run the heater, the encloser acts as a heatsink. And it may have to be a little taller to make it wortwhile, otherwise, you can only store small items. But that could be good too depending on the persons needs. I guess big enough to store sun glasses and an ipod. I have pics of the heater somewhere, still looking.
Here are some measurements of the oem console, along with pictures. fjwagon's console is identical to mine, only mine is currently out of the vehicle.
The plastic console is attached to the heater by four screws on the top of the heater itself. Im working on removing the plastic console from heater now, but I will need to drill out the four screws on the top.
dimensions WxLxH = 7 1/2" x 14 1/2" x 6 1/2"
What are the dimensions of your console?
I removed the plastic console cover. If I mailed it to you could you work off that?
With minor adjustments I think it could be done, but what do I know...your the expert!

Is that from a fj40... what year? Based on the measurements and pictures, the length on this would be an issue for trying to equip it with cup holders and still have room for storage. With the sliding control on the back you'd have to try and build a replacement for the entire plastic unit.
While I'd love to build one, I'm not sure I'd take it on without having the vehicle to look at things. I'll see if CruiserCorps here in OKC might have one that I could take a look at.
My console is 22L x 7H x 6.5W. The bottom section where the cup holders is 8 inches long before it starts to rise.

The console shown is from my 1981 FJ40 and is oem.
I thought about fanning around the plastic louvers and lever. Your measurements aren't too far off actually.

WOW
Hey, I received the console today...Nice work and great craftsmanship. Thanks Nik I will definitely be a supporter on the forum.
It came w/ the stop on the front and the bracket to mount it.
I will post pics after I mount it this weekend. Thanks again

Update; install.
I mounted the console today and made a few upgrades.
I installed a strip of trim to the edges of the console to help w/ rattles.
I also placed bolts (instead of rivits) on the front mount to help w/ rattles as well.
I ground the bolts flush so they wouldn't hinder the height issues.
This is a very nice upgrade and I'm glad I made the purchase. After the install it's fairly quiet, I tested it. I need to finish it off w/ a thick piece of black carpet inside.
This is a nice unit and I like it. Thanks NikP.
